Lazy Monday - Striped Legs

Gah, I'm still sick, but I am refusing to let this stupid thing beat me! I went for an hour walk this morning, then walked to the grocery store (I love delivery!), and poked around in a thrift store (no shopping for me, says Santa L).

And this is what I wore: I tend to wear this sweater around the house more than as an "official" blog outfit. These are the last two times I wore it.

I love these stripey tights, but when I put them on today, they had a gigantic hole in the bum! It feels weird, but I can still wear them, haha!

Pretty tights. And you raise a subject I've faced and wondered about: wearing clothes that have a flaw but it's hidden from view. My attitude is it's okay, since nobody sees the defect. You seem to agree. Any further thoughts on it?

Now now - I thought you said you didn't get dressed up to go shopping!!

I too have a pair of tights with a whole in the butt. I've been trying to replace them (they're not all that unusual: brown fishnets), but I haven't been able to, so I just keep wearing them. What people don't know, won't bother them!!

Good job getting out and about today! That was probably the toughest thing for me when I lost my job last fall. Doesn't help that I had surgery the next day and couldn't get out and drive for 2 weeks and couldn't lift more than 10lbs for 6 more weeks. After all that, I completely lost my motivation.

1) I do the same thing with tights. I've got a few "drafty" pairs that I can still wear.

2) delivery groceries?? I am so jealous. That never seems to have taken off here in Dallas. And I've never heard of doing your own shopping and having them delivered - only ever of ordering online. Rand and I have started biking to the grocery store to get ours. Mostly it works okay but occassionally we can't get something we want b/c it's too big. I think we're going to get a bike trailor to fix that problem.

If the tights are the "cotton rich" type, could you sew them up? (Rhian was so clumsy as a smaller child I couldn't afford to keep her in new tights for school, she often went to school with tights that could have been mistaken for the bride of frankenstein's legs!)

Comments are so incredibly special, and I love them and hug them and treasure them forever. Please feel free to tell me what you think! I try to respond to every one, so if you want to know what I said, tick that "Notify me" box and it'll ping your email!
